4-Door Badlands time for 35s

[Rumbloki]

Aren't the Badlands stock tires 34" (really 33.halfish...)? The stock Sas are 34.4. I've got 34.8's on my BL Sas, no lift or rubbing.

BL tires are 32.8".

Now that I have worn out the stock BGFs on my Badlands, I am ready to move from 33s to 35s. I am considering a 1" or 2" puck lift and going with Baja Boss ATs. Is anyone running this setup on a 4-door Badlands?

Am I wrong for not changing out shocks and Upper Control Arms? I am not interested in going bigger than 35s now, so I thought factory shocks were okay.

What milage did you get with the stocks?

I am at just under 33,000. I could likely get another 10,000, but living on the Gulf Coast of Texas, I am less confident in the rain and normally switch on 4A in these cases at this time.

I'm looking at the new Bilstein 8112's. Pricey, but from what I hear, they are worth it.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that when you go up to a taller tire, your speedometer and mileage will be off until you get it updated. It'll be a few miles off, I think showing you're going faster? If you're about to take a long trip, just FYI.

Some people never update it. When I went up to truer 35's, my two miles over came up even; now, when it say's 45 speed signs also say 45 and not 43, like they used to. I know I can update with my ProCal; maybe also FORScan.

I have been a Guinea Pig for a programming company for the last couple of weeks. They have a programmer that will allow you to adjust the tire size to get the speedo back to actual speed, and to adjust the TPMS warning to a lower amount, so it doesn't freak out when you air down. It should be available for sale in a week or so. I should be getting mine soon, so I will give a report when I get it and use it.
